Man throws concrete at deputy's cruiser windshield

PORT CLINTON - An Oak Harbor man was charged with felony vandalism after he threw chunks of concrete at an Ottawa County Sheriff's Office deputy cruiser and then walked into the jail lobby to tell deputies he did it Monday afternoon.

Sean P. McGee, 23, of the 700 block of Locust St., Oak Harbor, was arrested and charged with felony vandalism after he told deputies he vandalized a deputy's cruiser in the courthouse parking lot.

At 3:26 p.m. on Monday, Chief Deputy Brad M. York was called down to the jail lobby after McGee walked into the lobby and said he had damaged one of the cruisers.

Upon reaching the parking lot, York noticed his assigned 2010 GMC Yukon had spray paint near the tailgate and had damage to the hood and a shattered, but still intact, windshield.

Chief Deputy York and Deputy Jody Royster noticed two chunks of loose concrete laying south of the vehicle, according to his report.

When York and Royster reentered the building to speak to McGee and asked him why he threw the concrete at the cruiser, McGee said, "I don't know, are you going to arrest me?"

"I advised Sean that yes, he was under arrest for vandalism. Sean said 'Okay, let's go,'" York's report said.

McGee was arrested without incident and charged with felony vandalism.

On Tuesday afternoon, York reported he had received an email from Oak Harbor Police Department of a voice recording of a male asking about the penalties for spray-painting and committing vandalism, which was received Sunday afternoon.

"At one point on the tape the male identifies himself as Sean, however he would not give his last name," York said.

The email containing the voicemail was sent to the prosecutor's office, York said.
